Life is a Game We Play by Scott Carruthers

Here at Artery Gallery we are very pleased to hear that Scott is
currently working on a new series of paintings entitled ‘Life is a Game We Play’. This
new work features board games such as chess and scrabble, along with metaphors
for life paths and choices.

This latest edition is bright, bold and contemporary. In these
paintings Scott uses scrabble letters to spell and shape out quotes and phrases
based around everyday life.

Scott’s paintings have always been a subject of intrigue and nostalgia.
His paintings evoke fond memories of childhood with his naïve, cartoonlike
characters. Scott takes his inspiration from observing his own children playing
which then conjure up memories of his own youth.

Scott is a self-taught artist and has been painting full time since
2009. Both his style and subject matter is refreshingly unique and he has been
incredibly successful because of this. His new series offers collectors of his
work something new and fun.

Artery Gallery have gathered the best of Scottish and International talent from students just starting out on their career, to well established names within the art world. What matters most to Artery Gallery, is that we bring these creations forward and make them affordable and accessible to anybody wanting the best of contemporary art.
